Bonneville America Forums Forums General Motorcycle Forums Other Bikes I bought a new Scrambler, amy advice on performan

I have had a few America's and speedies but just got a Scrambler
I like the D and D slip on's for it because I had them on my other triumph twins and they sound awesome. Do the Arrow pipes make better power? Also I read recently that triumph twin power makes something called the "breathe" to replace the top of the air box and it apparently makes more torque than removing the air box, of course I would get a high flow air filter either way, has anyone tried this? Also they make a tune for the Ecu and I think a Rev extender. Or am I better off with a pc5?
In other words what are the best mods for airbox, Ecu and exhaust for the Scrambler. I think with those mods alone I might not need cams and whatnot.

Also, any recommendations on suspension upgrades, I'm 210 pounds, will I need/want them?

I can honestly say the Arrow on the Scrambler is a sweet sound. I was ready to by a Scrambler because of that pipe. Do your research on the Breath, lots of disagreement on it's improvement in performance

I would maybe make is breath better with pipes and intake like a K&N then extend the limiter.

Its a light bike with high 50s horsepower. I think its fine the way it is actually.

You already guessed the suspension upgrade, front and rear both need upgrades. The stock ironing board seat isn't very comfortable but the solo seat/rack combo is as well as is the Burton Bike Bits traditional benches. The Arrow lightens the bike but TORs give a similar performance boost, I have TORs and they seem right to me; keeping in mind that in my old age I prefer not to make a racket. The Triumph Twin Power ignition curve upgrade is a nice combo along with an air filter upgrade, I can't say it makes more power but it sure winds up to redline smoothly. The bike also came to me with a floating front rotor and three pot Bremo caliper that makes for easy two finger stopping, I like it here in the hills and it hauls my 220lbs. to a rapid stop.

^ THAT'S NICE!!!

Picked up my scrambler today from Petes Cycles, it was on sale for 7399 and I got a 600 voucher from Triumph, had an arrow exhaust installed before I left, happy, happy, happy, pics tomorrow

^ fun bike, enjoy!

Every now & then I get the urge to by a Scram & install a Zard low exhaust & mag wheels...I'm funny that way...
